The E39 M5 is the kind of car people drive for 25 years and still refuse to sell. The factory suspension was properly sorted, but time, miles, and the way you actually drive it have a way of making you want more from the setup. The KW V3 is the upgrade that respects what this car is while giving you the tuning control it never had from the factory.
Independent compression and rebound dials matter on a car you might drive 400 miles on a Friday before a track day on Saturday. Soften compression for the highway leg, dial in rebound for the track, align the car when you get home. Both settings are at your fingertips without ever pulling a wrench on the car.
